What is a User Group?
A user group is simply a group of computer enthusiasts who get together on a regular basis to exchange ideas, share frustrations, and learn from one another. We cover a wide range of topics, from the simple to the complex. Attending a meeting is a good way to meet people who can help you get the most from your computer. Return to the top of the page.
What are the benefits of User Group membership?
In addition to the information exchanged at the regular meetings, membership in BAPCO provides you with a list of contacts that you can use to resolve a problem whenever the need arises. Need an opinion about the best place to buy hardware or software? Or perhaps some advice about where to have a computer repaired? Ask a BAPCO member. Chances are good that someone in the group can guide you in the right direction. Return to the top of the page.
